said property, designating a certain time when said owner may appear
before said Court and be heard in reference to the liability of said prop-
erty for said tax, and the class to which it properly belongs. All the pro-
visions of existing laws relating to notice to be given by the Appeal Tax
Court before changing the classification of property under the Act of 1908,
Chapter 286, and to appeals from the actions of the Appeal Tax Court
thereunder, shall be applicable to the notice to be given by the Appeal Tax
Court and to the right of appeal from their actions under this Act. After
having given such owner reasonable notice and opportunity to be heard,
as herein provided, the Appeal Tax Court shall proceed to make the classi-
fication as herein provided, and shall certify their actions, in making
classifications of property for the special tax provided by this Act, to the
City Collector in the same manner as in cases of classifications of real
and leasehold property in the Annex for the different rates of taxation
as provided under the Act relating thereto; and the said City Collector
shall add said special tax to the tax bill of the property as a separate item,
to be called "Special Paving Tax," and shall collect the same in the same
manner as ordinary taxes on real estate are collected. All the provisions
of exisiting laws and ordinances, and any amendment or amendments
thereto, relating to the lien of, discounts, interest and penalty or other
charges upon the ordinary taxes on real estate, and the powers and duties
of the City Collector in regard to the collecting, keeping accounts of, ac-
counting for, and depositing such taxes, shall apply to the special tax
herein provided for, except where inconsistent with some provision of this
Act. On the first day of every month, or next legal day if the first day
be Sunday or a holiday, the City Collector shall account for and pay over
to the Comptroller, to be by him deposited with the City Register and to
be placed to the credit of the new paving fund provided for in the Acts
of 1906, Chapter 401, and 1908, Chapter'202, and to be exclusively appli-
cable to the cost of the work authorized by said acts or by any amendment
or amendments thereof, all the proceeds of the special tax herein levied
which he shall have collected during the preceding month.
